He was so stifled that he felt like his nose was going to burst. Finally, he could no longer hold back his tears. Droplets of sparkling and translucent liquid fell onto the floor, making a "di da da da" sound.
She knew that Aunt Jiang didn't like her, but when she saw how she turned to leave right after she said those words, she felt as if all her pride was gone as well.
She did not know how to get along with Jiang Chen. Countless ants had crawled in her heart. She did not want much, just a simple love!
When Jiang Chen returned, it was already late at night. Yin Yao had her eyes closed and was still awake. She did not want to say anything. Was it better to be a turtle hiding in its shell than to be a turtle?
"I know you haven't fallen asleep. Don't take today's matter to heart. My father's heart really isn't feeling well."
Jiang Chen's tone was tinged with guilt and self-blame, which made Yin Yao even more reluctant to part with him.
Karma! This was the barrier of love!
Silent tears fell from her eyes, yet how much tears she had shed that night. Yin Yao didn't know, but she felt as if her heart was filled with bitterness.
The warm morning sunlight shone on Yin Yao's face. Her hazy eyes opened wide, her fingers gently touching her side. The warmth within the quilt told her that Jiang Chen had not woken up for a long time.
He put on his clothes, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, then went downstairs.
Only Mother Jiang was at the dining table, holding a magazine and carrying milk. Beside her stood her aunt respectfully.
Her heart was thumping. She couldn't face Aunt Jiang alone, but Yin Yao knew that if she wanted to marry into the Jiang family, Mother Jiang had to go through a trial.
Yin Yao had spent almost all of her life's effort to force out a smile to make herself look more approachable.
"Good morning, Auntie!" She walked over slowly. Ben didn't want breakfast, but she sat there and the basic greeting always came.
She didn't even open her eyes, as if she didn't exist in this space at all. Her face was full of indifference.
Yin Yao also felt a tinge of awkwardness in the air. She raised her head and glanced at her aunt, an awkward smile condensing on her face.
"Auntie, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first." He could not stay in this place any longer. Low pressure was killing him.
She almost ran away as fast as she could, but when she reached the door, she was stopped by Aunt Jiang.
"Come back, I have something to say to you. I didn't even say you could leave, yet you're running now. What kind of tutor is this?"
Mother Jiang raised her head. Although she had an aged face, she still looked as beautiful as before. Her solemn look would cause anyone who looked at her to feel terrified.
"Auntie, it's my fault, please tell me!" She had always kept basic courtesy towards her elders in mind, especially towards Jiang Chen's mother!
"The attitude of admitting your wrongs is quick, listening or not is another matter. I know you youngsters too well. Alright, I won't argue with you for so long today!"
Mother Jiang waved her hand and even made a show of generosity, causing Yin Yao to be a little angry no matter how good her temper was.
Xiao Yan bit his lips and tried his best to restrain himself. He clenched the corner of his clothes tightly and did not say a word. His face turned green.
"What I want to tell you today, you prick up your ears and listen well. I hope you can leave my son, Jiang Chen!"
Leave my son, Jiang Chen! Leave Jiang Chen!
Yin Yao suddenly felt as if a ball of cotton was stuffed inside her throat, making no sound at all.
She could not help but feel disheartened. She did not understand why Mother Jiang hated her so much. Her heart was filled with a sense of loss.
"Aunt, why should I leave Jiang Chen? "He …"
Yin Yao realized that her words were superfluous. She only needed to listen to her teachings.
"You don't need to know why. You just need to know that you're not worthy enough. My home isn't one that you can reach easily. Yin Yao, I'd advise you to know the difference between cloud and mud!"
Mother Jiang's words were like wind and frost on her face. The pain she felt was worse than slapping them in the face.
He couldn't control the tears streaming down his face. They dripped to the ground one after another, turning into pearls that dripped to the ground.
"I know there's a big difference between my family and yours, but Jiang Chen likes me and I like him. Aunty, there's no need for you to call me that. I know my own limitations, but your son kept saying he loved me and told me to stay."
She also had her pride and anger. She could trample on her dignity, but she couldn't do it. She couldn't do it even if she wanted to.
"My son has a temporary infatuation, he's used to eating big fish and big meat and always needs to eat some small vegetables to relieve himself. You should know your position, if you don't hold high hopes and leave now, I might give you money if I'm in a good mood, so you can leave in peace."
Her words were bland and without any fluctuations, as if she was talking about a casual matter. The bread was torn into small pieces and sent into her mouth, along with the bread and milk. She completely ignored Yin Yao's anger and indignation.
Control! He was doing his best to control it!
"Auntie, in truth, you can tell Jiang Chen when he comes back. You told me that he still wants to catch me, so why did you do that?"
If Mother Jiang could explain it clearly to Jiang Chen, she would not cause trouble for him. Yin Yao knew this well, so she summoned up her courage and said it.
"You really think too highly of yourself. What do you think you are? "I've seen a lot of women, and I've also seen a lot more who wanted to step into my Jiang family's house. This is the first time I've seen a woman as shameless as you."
Slowly standing up, she moved closer and closer to Yin Yao. A strong pressure came from the bottom of her heart, engulfing Yin Yao's heart.
Taking a step back, like a frightened little rabbit, Yin Yao's anger immediately vanished. She knew she was hopeless, but Mother Jiang was too domineering, she simply couldn't resist.
"What are you going to do?"
Saying that she had learned a lot and that she was a well-educated person, Yin Yao wouldn't do anything no matter how hard she tried.
